Is his arm or chest too large? I've been looking at it off and on for about a week and I'm coming up short.
Any help would be appreciated.

Tanner,I think you need to look in a mirror for help (i know you're a woman) face is all wrong,draw some lines for guidance..ear,eye,nose, and the mouth would not open at that shape.Nipple looks way off also.

Hi, Tanner. If your aiming for a realistic anatomically correct drawing, I agree with Russ. I see a bit of what Betty Edwards refers to in her book
as the "chopped-off skull error", where the artist places the eye level about one-third down from the top of the head, instead
of half-way down. As for his chest and torso, the thing that I noticed immediately is the nipple is on his side.
Russ always gives excellent advice...a long study of your reflection in the mirror and some anatomical books/websites should help you a lot.
I like your drawing though. I wonder why he is crying. Looking good. Keep it up.
Mike

Thank you guys for the feed back. I'm working on that drawing. I've fixed the head and it looks much better. I'll post it when I finish.
I was able to finally find the art book I've been looking for.
This is my first result working with that book.
I think it looks quite a bit more realistic than my other non-ref pics.
